Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional content editing methods require manual input of tag information, making it inconvenient for users to manage and share edited content, especially since edited content often loses its tag information.

Innovation Solution

A portable terminal with a tagging method and apparatus that automatically extracts and inputs tag information from original content, allowing users to select and edit content areas, and then applies the extracted tag information to the edited content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If manual tagging is used for edited content, then tag information can be input, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetag informationVSAvoidtagging process

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and stores tag information from the original content before editing occurs. When edited content is generated, the pre-extracted tag information is automatically applied, eliminating the need for manual re-tagging and preserving information while simplifying operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically manages tag information for edited content without requiring user intervention. The tag manager detects content editing and autonomously applies relevant tags, making the system self-sufficient in maintaining tag information throughout the editing process.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If tag information is not preserved during content editing, then editing flexibility is maintained, but tag information is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontent editing flexibilityVSAvoidtag information

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system separates tag information management from the content editing process itself. Tag extraction, storage, and application are handled as independent functions by the tag manager, allowing content editing to proceed flexibly while tag information is preserved and automatically reapplied to edited content.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

3Productivity

If automatic tag extraction is implemented, then tagging efficiency improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetagging efficiencyVSAvoidtagging system

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The tag manager serves multiple functions: extracting tags from original content, storing tag information, detecting content editing, and automatically applying tags to edited content. This multi-functionality consolidates what could be separate complex systems into a single unified component, improving productivity while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A tagging method and apparatus of a portable terminal in which, if particular content is edited, only second tag information corresponding to the edited content is extracted and then automatically tagged to the edited content. The second tag information is part of the first tag information corresponding to a photography subject contained in the particular content.
